Fujitsu MONAKA CPU and Server Go on Sale in November: 3.8GHz Maximum Frequency and 8,800MT/s Memory Transfer, Servers Launching First in Japan and Europe
Fujitsu Limited announced that global sales of its next-generation FUJITSU-MONAKA processor, designed and developed in Japan, begin in November 2026, alongside the made-in-Japan Fujitsu MONAKA Server built around the chip. The company said the server will be broadly available from November to data center operators, enterprises, and the academic and high-performance computing sectors in Japan and Europe, as well as to the defense sector. The standalone processor is planned for cloud and data center operators and server vendors starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, with global availability including the United States and the Asia-Pacific region.
Fujitsu said the processor reaches a maximum operating frequency of 3.8GHz with a memory transfer speed of 8,800MT/s, using a 3D-stacked architecture with a 2-nanometer process for the core and a 5-nanometer process for the cache and I/O sections, plus dedicated instructions that hardware-accelerate matrix operations. The company said the chip delivers twice the AI inference throughput of other CPUs, effectively halving the number of servers and the power consumption required for equivalent processing loads. It also features confidential computing, protecting data and applications in memory with hardware encryption using Arm CCA technology.
The MONAKA Server is designed, developed and manufactured in Japan at Fujitsu's Kasashima Plant. The rack-mount range going on sale in November comprises 2U systems with two CPUs and 1U systems with one or two CPUs, with 2U multi-node servers — two CPUs per node across four nodes — offered at the same time for academia and high-performance computing. The 1U server uses CDI/CXL technology to allocate memory and accelerators beyond the server's physical boundaries, and Fujitsu said it can operate in ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius with air cooling and water temperatures up to 45 degrees Celsius with water cooling, reducing server cooling power consumption by up to 80%. The server will be offered to select customers in the financial, telecommunications and manufacturing sectors starting in the second half of fiscal 2026, with shipments commencing sequentially from April 2027 in Japan and Europe. Fujitsu listed no pricing in the announcement.
